    If you"re looking for a role where you define new conventions rather than follow existing ones, where a small team punches well above its weight because AI makes that possible, and where your work shapes the daily experience of an entire company, we"d love to talk to you. You"ll design for model capabilities that are changing in real time, prototype by building, and define how Amazonians (executives, engineers, non-technical staff) experience their daily tools.

    Description

    The Enterprise Engineering (EE) team builds the internal productivity tools and capabilities that power Amazon. Our products reach every part of the company, and are changing the employee experience around how work gets done in the AI era. Most of the interaction patterns we need haven"t been invented yet. We need your craft, your builder instincts, and your fluency with AI to help define what comes next.

    We are looking for a Senior UX Designer who will own product design end to end for AI-native tools used across Amazon. You"ll work in spec-driven teams alongside engineers, PMs, AI specialists, researchers, and customers. You"ll design for model capabilities that are changing in real time, prototype by building, and define how Amazonians (executives, engineers, non-technical staff) experience their daily tools. The visibility is high, the problem space is wide open, and design has a real seat at the table.

    The right person for this role is already AI-native in how they work. AI is part of your design practice now, not something you"re planning to pick up. You pay attention to where model capabilities are heading and design for what"s coming, not just what"s shipping today. You"d rather build a working prototype than present a deck. You do your best work when the problem is fuzzy, the patterns are uncharted, and the upside is enormous.

    If you"re looking for a role where you define new conventions rather than follow existing ones, where a small team punches well above its weight because AI makes that possible, and where your work shapes the daily experience of an entire company, we"d love to talk to you.

    Key job responsibilities

    • Own product design end to end, from the first prototype to what ships, for AI-native tools used across Amazon
    • Invent interaction patterns that don"t have a playbook yet: how people direct agents, trust them, correct them, and work alongside them
    • Prototype in code (HTML/CSS/JS), AI-assisted dev tools, and whatever gets a real thing in front of real users fastest
    • Build a new design system using AI, extracting tokens, components, and patterns from product work as it ships
    • Set product direction alongside PMs, engineers, AI specialists, and customers. On a team this small, design has a real say in what gets built
    • Present design work and influence product direction with stakeholders and leadership across the organization
    • Ship it, watch people use it, change it. Repeat

    About the team

    We"re a small design team that experiments with how design gets done, not just what it produces. We"re actively reshaping our own process around agentic workflows, AI-assisted development, and a product lifecycle that looks nothing like the one most enterprise teams follow. The way we research, spec, prototype, test, and ship is itself a work in progress, and we treat it that way on purpose.

    About Company

    At Amazon, we don’t wait for the next big idea to present itself. We envision the shape of impossible things and then we boldly make them reality. So far, this mindset has helped us achieve some incredible things. Let’s build new systems, challenge the status quo, and design the world we want to live in. We believe the work you do here will be the best work of your life.

    Wherever you are in your career exploration, Amazon likely has an opportunity for you. Our research scientists and engineers shape the future of natural language understanding with Alexa. Fulfillment center associates around the globe send customer orders from our warehouses to doorsteps. Product managers set feature requirements, strategy, and marketing messages for brand new customer experiences. And as we grow, we’ll add jobs that haven’t been invented yet.

    It’s Always Day 1
    At Amazon, it’s always “Day 1.” Now, what does this mean and why does it matter? It means that our approach remains the same as it was on Amazon’s very first day – to make smart, fast decisions, stay nimble, invent, and stay focused on delighting our customers. In our 2016 shareholder letter, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos shared his thoughts on how to keep up a Day 1 company mindset. “Staying in Day 1 requires you to experiment patiently, accept failures, plant seeds, protect saplings, and double down when you see customer delight,” he wrote. “A customer-obsessed culture best creates the conditions where all of that can happen.” You can read the full letter here

    Our Leadership Principles
    Our Leadership Principles help us keep a Day 1 mentality. They aren’t just a pretty inspirational wall hanging. Amazonians use them, every day, whether they’re discussing ideas for new projects, deciding on the best solution for a customer’s problem, or interviewing candidates.
